Need cam info

[Bruce R.]

I picked up my Streetmaster today and the guy offered me a cam  new in the box, but he bought them a long time ago and didn't remember whether or not it was for solid lifters or hydraulic. The cam is a Super Stock Ind. no. 10356 . I'm trying to research it on the web but coming up empty so far. Anyone out there know this cam

[NIsaacs]

That cam appears to be an old store brand for Performance Automotive Warehouse (PAW) I would pass on it. It might not even be an FE cam, Lol

What happened to PAW ? I bought a lot of parts from them
in the 80s. They was big and now they are gone.
I still have a catalogue from them somewhere was almost
the size of a Phone Catalogue

I am almost certain that the 10356 is a copy of the big 427 cam, 324 adv, 244@.050, 114 LSA.  I have no idea if lift is .600 or something else, and no idea if its on 110 ICL or something different.  I just had a reference in some hand written notes as a replacement cam by SSI

BTW, they used to be reliable parts, I used a TON of them as a young guy in the mid and late 80s , they were cheap and had a ton of different cams to choose from.  However, back then I was young and didn't degree anything, so who knows if they were what they said they were

[Bruce R.]

All I've been able to determine is the spec sheet with the cam calls for 1.76:1 rocker ratio which I believe is a solid lifter application. Can hydraulic lifters be used on a solid lifter cam   The duration is 245 degrees and 506 lift, fairly " lumpy "

[My427stang]

You shouldn't. but if you have a spec sheet post it LOL

It makes sense it is what I said it was with your additional info, but the cam card would have made it easier from the beginning

I don't know what a cam card is, but here's the specs. I wrote them out and snapped a pic, its easier than flipping the paper back and forth.

[Bruce R.]

If my rockers are a different ratio that'd change the valve lift and make this cam act like a milder cam, right ?

[ericwevans]

Yes, the rocker ratio will change the lift at the valve.  If the ratio is smaller it will act milder, ratio larger will make it act hotter.

Have you read the specs I posted ? What could I expect from this cam ?

[ericwevans]

The pro engine builders on the forum could probably give you a really good idea if you can provide them the rest of your combination. 

That being said, my back yard builder instinct says that cam will be pretty lopey at idle.

Yo Eric, watched your video, cool pickup ! What's the rpm at idle with that cam ?

[ericwevans]

Thanks Bruce!  It idles at about 800RPM.

[Bruce R.]

Yo Eric, just looked at your profile, I used to live at 4502 South Fair Ln., out past Baseline in Tempe, that was back in the 70's.  Decided not to use the cam mentioned above, too many unknowns and maybes. Think I'll look into Crane Cams.

Cool Bruce, you still live in the Phoenix area, or did you have enough of the heat.
